ARISE NJ Founder, Pastor Philip Rizzo urgent message to Ringwood Residents about BOE

After a successful event held at the Trump National Golf Course in Bedminster, New Jersey, on October 20, 2020, President of ARISE NJ, Pastor Phil Rizzo called and urged many to focus on their Board of Education for the November 3rd, 2020 elections, specifically the Ringwood Board of Education elections.

On October 30, 2020, Pastor Philip Rizzo spoke with many leaders and residents about the importance of the Ringwood Board of Election. “I am reaching out to encourage you to vote in your local school board election by November 3rd. This is an important and a close race where you can make a big impact on both the values being taught to children in our community, and also on how your taxes are put to use”, stated enthusiastically Pastor Rizzo.

He went on to say, “The "Quality Affordable Education" slate (Rubacky, Allen, Burgoyne, Diamond, and Kerr) are running on a conservative platform, while the "Your Children are Our Children" campaign aligns with the teacher's unions and the local Democrats.”

Pastor Rizzo concluded emphasizing “This is a close race, and your vote can make all the difference. I hope you make your voice heard.”
